THE NAME AND FAME 

OF 

"OLDBOWDOIN- 





N the morning of August 7, 1857, more than 
two-score young men and boys, one at least 
of whom was wearing his first coat, assembled 
in Professor Cleaveland's recitation room, in 
Massachusetts Hall, to be examined for admission to the 
Freshman class of Bowdoin College. Our Alma Mater, 
like many other American colleges, shows a fine disregard 
of the Friday superstition by choosing that day of the 
week for summoning each successive brood to come beneath 
her sheltering wings. The examination was conducted in 
person by the great professors whom we afterward learned 
to love and revere, — Cleaveland, Smyth, Packard, and 
Upham ; and toward evening we each received a certifi- 
cate, signed " L. Woods," that we were admitted to the 
Freshman class on probation. The second examination 
was held on Thursday, August 27. The fall term of Col- 
lege was supposed to have begun on the preceding day, 
August 26 ; but the first required college exercise was 
prayers on Sunday evening, the 30th ; and we began our 
four years' term of study by reciting the Preface to Livy 
to Tutor William Packard Tucker, at six o'clock on the 
morning of Monday, August 31, 1857. 

The first catalogue of Bowdoin for the College year 1857-58 
contained the names of fifty-five Freshmen, six of whom 
never appeared to recite with our class ; but two of them, 
Albion Burbank and John Thomas Magrath, joined and 
graduated with the class of 1862. The second catalogue, 
spring of 1858, contained five more names of Freshmen ; 

(v) 



/ 



but again two of them, Joel Marshall and Charles Widgery 
Milliken, never joined the class, but became members of 
1862. The total number, therefore, of those entered in the 
two catalogues who were ever with us was fifty-two. 
Edward R. Upham joined the class in the last term of 
Freshman year, but left College in the first term of the next 
year. Two new members, Jordan and Manning, came from 
Tufts College at the beginning of Sophomore year ; four, — 
Cochrane and Loring from Waterville College, now Colby 
University, and Finger and Shell from Catawba College, 
North Carolina, — at the beginning of Junior year. At this 
time, also, Wiley, who started with '60, became a member 
of '61. Curtis, whose association with the class began in 
the last term of Senior year, brings up the whole number 
of those who were at any time members of the class to 
sixty-one. 

The number of names in the General Catalogue of the 
College as graduates of 1861 is fifty-two. The outbreak 
of the Civil War made serious inroads in the class. Many 
of our classmates were already in the army when Com- 
mencement Day arrived,- — Wednesday, August 7, 1861, — 
precisely four years after our entrance. One, at least, 
Kenniston, was in Libby Prison on that day. Finger and 
Shell had departed, weeks before, for the South to "go 
with their State." But eventually every member of the 
class, with one exception, who left College to enter the 
army, received his degree and his proper place in the cata- 
logue. The exception was Shell, who joined the Confederate 
Army, and died of disease contracted in the service, during 
the second year of the war. It will be seen by a com- 
parison of the figures given that nine only of those who 
ever recited with the class are not in the General Cata- 
logue ; namely, Anderson, Appleton, Butler, Hardy, Mulli- 

(vi, 



ken, Shell, H. K. Upham, Vose, and Wight, the last-named 
of whom we gave up to 1862, as we had received Wiley 
from i860. 

Of the fifty-two whose names are in the catalogue, 
thirty-two are living in March, 1897, as are also three of 
those who dropped out before graduation. 

Dealing now, and hereafter except where it is expressly 
stated to the contrary, with all the sixty-one men who 
were at any time active members of the class, twenty-five 
served in the Army and two in the Navy of the United 
States ; and two were in the Confederate army. Morrell 
and Fessenden were killed in battle during the Civil War ; 
Howe was killed by Indians in the Modoc War ; Cram, Jor- 
dan (navy), and Shell (Confederate) died of disease con- 
tracted in the service. Two members of the class rose to the 
rank of brevet brigadier-general, — Hyde and Manning. 

Fifty-five members were living at the end of the Civil 
War. Of these, eleven became lawyers ; eleven, doctors ; 
six, ministers of the gospel ; six, teachers ; three, editors ; 
two, farmers ; one, a dentist. Ten engaged in business. 
Curtis and Howe remained with the army and Joe Upham 
with the navy ; Atkins became a scientific breeder of fish and 
superintendent of hatching stations. " Mose " was the fifty- 
fifth, and defies classification, as he always did. 

Most of the boys have "done something." Run through 
the list of doctors : Hunt and Stubbs are professors in med- 
ical colleges. Eaton and Thorp — not to mention others — 
hold commanding positions in their respective communities. 
Bradford and Smith brought undying credit upon themselves 
by their brave devotion to duty. No more touching sight 
can be imagined than that of a whole town in mourning, 
all business being suspended during the funeral of one who 
occupied no official position, but was simply the universally 

(vii) 



loved and respected good Dr. Smith. Anderson was not 

<»nly a physician of the highest repute, but the leader <>i his 

political party in Wisconsin, and is just closing his second 
tour years' term as consul-general at the chief city of the 
Dominion of Canada. 

The law claimed as many of our members as did medicine. 
Five of the eleven, all living, are entitled to the prefix 
" Judge." Emery, who has long not only occupied but filled 
a seat on the Supreme Bench of Maine, is also a professor in 
the Medical College. Kenniston is probate judge for Lincoln 
County ; Hicks, Ray, and Rounds have all served as munic- 
ipal judges, and Hicks still adorns the bench. But some of 
those who did not rise to judicial rank hardly fall in achieve- 
ment below those who did. Manning occupied for many 
years a commanding position in North Carolina ; Furber has 
made a great name and fortune ; Simonton has grown up 
with Minnesota, and is not only highly esteemed for what he 
is and has done, but as a lawyer is foster-father of the new 
congressman from the St. Paul district. Loring's career 
was one of the greatest honor. His sturdy integrity was 
proved over and over again, and no man in Massachusetts 
stood higher than he in the esteem of those who knew 
him. __-- - 

A minister of the gospel looks for no higher position than 
that which he fills in the " sacred desk." Not one of our six 
clergymen could become a bishop without changing his faith. 
Would any one of our boys do that? Read the list, and 
answer : Cross, Hardy, Johnson, Maxwell, Palmer, Smith ; 
all earnest, devoted, faithful men. 

Every one of those who engaged in the work of education 
has made his mark. Fernald heads the list with a long- 
service as a college president. Packard, a professor in one of 
the leading universities, a universally recognized authority on 

(viii) 



entomology, an author of world-wide fame. Finger, for 
many years the State superintendent of public instruction in 
his native State of North Carolina. Rideout, for twenty-one 
years master of one high school, and with a record of thirty 
years' teaching in the same place. Emery, a successful and 
most honored head of several high schools and an instructor 
attached to a government school-ship. Waterman, the 
youngest of the sixty-one members of '61, who occupies a 
high position in the Golden State, and has probably fitted 
more young people for college than any other son of Bow- 
doin, old or young. Though Curtis is classed as a soldier, he 
too has filled the chair of president of a university. And it 
will be seen that although only six of our classmates are 
reckoned as teachers, two of the doctors and one of the law- 
yers are also full professors ; so that we score two college 
presidents and four professors out of a class of sixty-one 
members. 

Three of our number became editors. Dingley has raised 
to himself a great monument — not wholly of wood pulp — 
on the banks of the Androscoggin. Your Secretary does not 
think his own merits greater than his success. 

Atkins has devoted himself to science and to a most prac- 
tical application of it, and has secured the highest opinion of 
those who know his faithful work. 

Of the ten members who engaged in business, five only are 
living. No attempt has been made to gather statistics of 
their wealth. They are all good men ; one of them is a great 
man. General Hyde has filled eminent public positions and 
bears a national reputation for enterprise and for business 
courage and good judgment. 

Eight members of the class have served in the Legislat- 
ures of their respective States : Butler, L. A. Emery, Hyde, 
Kenniston, Lufkin, and Ray, in Maine; Finger in North 

(ix) 



Carolina ; and Loring in Massachusetts. Five of the eight 
were senators. 

Three members of the class have received honorary de- 
grees, all from Bowdoin : Fernald, Ph.D.; Packard, Ph.D.; 
Stan wood, Litt.D. 

Nine are entitled to rank" as authors, more or less prolific : 
Atkins, Curtis, Dingley, Finger, Hyde, Owen, Packard, 
Rideout, and Stan wood. 

No one of the six members who died before the close of 
the Civil War was married, nor was any one of the fol- 
lowing-named classmates who died subsequently : Appleton, 
Bradbury, Fogg, Haines, Mulliken, Owen, J. B. Upham, 
and Vose. Of the surviving members of the class, Farr and 
Purington are unmarried. The other forty-five members 
married. Nine became widowers and married a second time ; 
it is interesting- to observe that no one became a widower 
and remained single ! Thus the number of wives is fifty- 
four, or but one short of the total number of those who 
survived the war. Seven married members of the class 
have been childless ; the other thirty-eight have been the 
fathers of sixty-five sons and fifty-nine daughters, of 
whom fifty-three sons and forty-five daughters are living. 
Twelve sons and twelve daughters have married. Ten 
members of the class are grandfathers. They are the 
ancestors of nine grandsons and eleven granddaughters. 
Rideout stands at the head of the list with five grand- 
children, but Maxwell and Simonton each have three. 

It would be interesting to know how many of the class 
were the children of college-bred men. Your Secretary can 
name but four ; namely, Fessenden, Packard, and the two 
Palmers. But '61 has done its full duty by its children. 
No less than thirty-four sons and fifteen daughters have 
entered college, or an institution of collegiate rank ; and 

(x) 



twenty sons and twelve daughters have taken degrees in 
arts, medicine, or science. Eight sons of sixty-one men 
have entered Bowdoin College, of whom five have graduated, 
and two are still there. At least two more, as yet too 
voung to enter, expect to go to Bowdoin. Wellesley has 
been the favorite college for the daughters of the class, 
seven of whom have taken a degree at that institution, 
and one is an undergraduate there. Two-thirds of the 
surviving sons and one-third of the daughters have set out, 
at least, on a course of higher education. 

The following pages contain a brief account of what each 
classmate has done since Commencement Day in 1861, 
and his family history. The aim has been to make it as 
full and accurate as possible. The only omissions known 
to the compiler, with the exception of a few missing dates, 
are the facts relating to Butler and E. R. Upham. His 
efforts to obtain them were unavailing. The portraits pre- 
sented are for the most part half-tones from photographs 
made expressly for this history. A very few only were 
taken one or two years ago. The portraits of deceased 
members are, it is believed, in every case made from the 
last photograph taken before death. 

Your Secretary thanks the members of the class for 
their cooperation, and begs their indulgence if the compila- 
tion falls in any way short of their expectations.
